Competitive ComparisonKeysight S-Series vs Danaher-Tektronix DPO5000B1

DC Power Rail Measurements

Keysight S-SeriesThe Keysight Technologies, Inc. S-Series oscilloscopes provide bandwidths up to 8 GHz with class-leading signal integrity and analysis. Custom ASICs, including the industry’s first 40 GSa/s, 10-bit ADC, allow you to see your real signal. Class-leading deep memory and a large suite of analysis tools complement a designed-for-touch user interface and the industry’s first 15” multi-touch capacitive touch-screen display. Paired with the N7020A power rail probe, you gain complete visibility into the signals hiding on your DC power rails.

Danaher-Tektronix DPO5000B Series

A 15” multi-touch capacitive touch-screen display offers 2x more viewing area and much greater sensitivity to user inputs.

Keysight S-Series vs Danaher-Tektronix DPO5000B, DC Power Rail Measurements - Competitive Comparison

Characterizing ripple and noise in your DC power supply doesn’t have to be time consuming or filled with guess work. You just have to choose the right tools.

That... The Tektronix 5000B solution measures the same signal but there is so much noise on the signal that you cannot see any of the transients present, making it impossible to know if you are within tolerance or not.

This... Measuring DDR3 DC power supply with the Keysight S-Series and N7020A power rail probe, you can see all of the subtle details of the trace.

That... or This...
